In the new dark comedy “I Love You Phillip Morris”, Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey star as two men who fall in love in prison. The movie follows Jim Carrey as his character, a con artist and escape artist, busts out of jail to be with Ewan McGregor’s character.

So how would two seasoned actors like Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey prepare for the roles of prison lovers? Apparently by trolling the gay bars in South Beach, namely Halo.

The story of “I Love Phillip Morris” is a true tale about cell mates in a Texas prison. For his part, Ewan calls it “an incredible story.” Also joining the cast is funny girl Leslie Mann (”Knocked Up”, “40 Year Old Virgin”). I’m looking forward seeing Carrey’s repeated escape attempts and McGregor’s efforts to help - sounds funny to me.
